Agreed, something I noticed right away was that Liverpool were much more energetic than us going into the shootout, I was even pretty scared because they looked much more up for it than us. However, as it turns out it's in moments like these that Pellegrini's calm and composed personality shines through as it rubs on the players. Everybody slotted their penalties in cooly and composed, even Fernandinho who missed was really just unlucky, meanwhile Liverpool's players were trying all sorts of tricks, especially Mignolet who while almost reaching our shots every time just didn't faze our players with his jumping up and down and weird movements, in a way we had won the mental battle before the shootout even really began.
People bang on about the psychology of penalties, but in years of watching them, I've realised that it's basically the team with the better players technically that wins them 9 times out of 10. There's nothing special about Toure, he's just better at kicking a ball accurately than anyone Liverpool have.

I know what you mean and don't disagree but Willy was enormous in the shoot out. After Can's cheeky successful pen and Fernandinho's strike against the post, I think Liverpool's next pen takers were complacent and almost arrogantly over complicated in execution whereas Willy was expertly keeping his composure. We done 'em thanks to Willy and of course our sound penalty strikers, we have another trophy.

Disagree about one point you make, on reflection. Toure is certainly special.
 
Booing Raheem at every opportunity yet fleecing us for £49m tells you all you need to know about the double standards dippers.

Did you hear any boos heading Milner's way from us?
 
They like to think they are the best supporters in the world and sing YNWA
Funny that - their players certainly walked alone to receive their loses medals.

I thought a fire alarm had gone off at their end, almost beat the rags when we played them!!
 
When you walk, up the steps, 'old yer 'ead up 'Igh,
An don' be surprised at de fans.
'Cos dey've all fucked off, it was time to go!
To de train, just to 'ave,
A good cry.

Walk off!
Walk off!
With 'ope in yer 'earts!
And cry like a woman at 'ome!
Yes cry like a woman at 'ome!
